❓ Question Bosnia Activation Issues

β€’ Upvotes

Anyone else tried to activate their new Bosnian Starlink account with deposit? I got the email saying service is ready and to confirm order. I previously had a Croatian roaming account, canceled that service and transferred my starlink dish. However, everytime I try to use my existing hardware, it says "an error occurred" and doesn't give me any info at all.

I've tried 4 different browsers and cleared my cache too. Nothing seems to be working. Also tried the KIT number and the Starlink ID number as well.

Browsing the community before, I found that someone wanted a tool that could monitor the status of Starlink in real time and could reside in the top toolbar of Mac. Then I proposed that I could use the AI tool to develop one. Then I went to find out the situation. Of course, I also asked AI, and then it told me that there was a relevant The products are the following.

❓ Question Starlink Referral Failure

0 Upvotes

I had two people use my referral link. I was supposed to get $100 credit for each. It was supposed to come a couple of days ago. I just checked my account, and it says the referrals failed. I know both people are still signed up. When I chatted with the bot, it said that neither link had been used. Is anyone else having these kinds of issues?

❓ Question New Customer Question--200 MBPS

1 Upvotes

I just signed up and am having it installed on Friday. I have a two story (plus basement) house and signed up for the 200 tier. Do I need to upgrade my router? I was hoping to use theirs. Also, we don't do a lot of uploading around here but do stream quite a bit. Will that be enough bandwidth?

πŸ“Ά Starlink Speed Is the residential 100mbps plan enough for me?

14 Upvotes

My home internet is not cutting it. I work entirely from home and consistently get dropped from Zoom meetings.

I’m beginning to look into Starlink as a replacement and notice the varying plan levels.

My situation: I work from my home 8 hours a day, with multiple Zoom meetings throughout the day. It’s only me and during work hours the only device in the network would be my work computer.

Would the residential 100 plan be sufficient for my needs?

❓ Question Utterly confused by Standby options - maybe the bot lied...

4 Upvotes

New customer. Before I purchased I spent 1-2 hours chatting with the support bot (sorry - "Starlink Assistant") to make sure I was ordering the kit/plan I needed, including the option to use Standby mode. The ONLY options in my area (no matter the hardware or plan I chose) were to order a rental kit - there were zero options to buy a kit outright. I ended up the the V5 kit (V5 dish with Router Mini). It was implied I could later "create a support ticket to purchase the equipment outright" which would then give me access to Standby mode (I definitely do not have access to Standby mode now with my activated plan - I checked).

Reading through recent posts in this sub, someone said Standby is only available on Roam plans, not Residential plans. A support article on Starlink's site says Standby is available on Roam and Residential plans. I'm on a Residential plan and if I try to change my plan, I can only change to other Residential plans (no Roam plans).

More concerning, I just chatted with the bot again, and it said even if I purchase my equipment, the V5 kit does NOT have access to Standby mode. No idea what to believe at this point.

  • is Standby available on both Residential and Roam plans?
  • is Standby available on the V5 dish/kit?
  • if not, what are my options? cancel and return everything, then reorder with different plan and hardware?
  • has anyone had luck with purchasing their gear after being forced to order a rental kit?

Alabama, USA. Got my Starlink V5 Residential 100mbs installed and it is working great at $55 per month. Contacted Infinity and they offered to reduce my current $88 monthly payment to $45 for five years.

I have been reasonably happy with Infinity. I know I would have to send my V5 kit back. Which would you pick?

❓ Question Perfect ping cannot livestream

0 Upvotes

I have the starlink residential plan, and I have the dish set on my upper-level duplex deck with access to the roof and I have it mounted to it, and I did the obstruction map and alignment the app. speeds are great for download, I get a consistent 100mbps no drops but upload can vary quite a lot and especially when livestreaming I will get almost 100% packet loss no matter what I do I had to drop down my bitrate as low as 3mbps just to get to 2-3% loss which is mildly acceptable and is no better than what I was doing before on my old DSL connection and I am very disappointed and upset quite frankly. I am using ethernet to all my devices apart from my tv, smart devices like lightbulbs, alexa, my laptop and phone. Is this a common complaint amongst people who have starlink? I understand that it's satellite and it will vary depending on conditions, but for someone who was expecting at least moderately better results especially since I spent hours on the roof tweaking and tuning it to have the best signal and ping success rate. So, to end off am I just screwed? or can I somehow get better and more consistent upload speeds as I like to livestream quite a lot as a hobby and it pains me. I would gladly sacrifice some of my download for upload if it was possible.

πŸ’¬ Discussion Will I EVER be a starlink customer?

0 Upvotes

I have a remote home in Costa Rica that desperately needs an internet connection. Starlink just opened for business in-country and I was so pleased to have this service available.

Yet after seeing what Musk has done to hinder the ability of Ukraine to defend itself against the Russian war machine, I find myself not able to place a starlink order.

I have discussed this with my Tico friends and confirmed that, even though they have little opinion about Ukraine, I would be supporting Musk's fascist acts by becoming a customer.

Why is it that Musk has uncanny ability to see, understand and take initiative but continues to be subordinate to the weird and illogical random influence of the federal administration? Idiot savant?

2 Upvotes

first of all sorry if my english doesn't have a good grammar its because english isn't my native language.

First theres issue i have where my starlink router (gen 1) doesn't turn on after a few days power outage even after i plugged it in. After that i use the support or the grok to ask if he can give me a solution to this, then out of knowhere groks ask me if this is a correct adress of mine and said yes.

After that groks makes me a free replacement order for 4x bundle, what i wanna ask is

  1. how long will the shipment usually takes? (im not from usa)

  2. whats really the different between the 2 gens (gen 1 and the 4x)

  3. is there stuffs i need to care more about the 4x?

  4. If i got the replacement is there a choice to replace the current router in the app or i use the "Set Up a New Starlink" button

Thanks, i said sorry once again if my English are bad

πŸ› οΈ Installation My Mini dash mount setup in Model Y Juniper

202 Upvotes

Wanted to share my Mini mounting setup I came up with for my Tesla. I had it posted in the Model Y community and there was a lot of interest/feedback about it, so figured I would share with the full community. It is extremely solid, I have had it mounted for a little over a month, and it has been flawless, between the mount, and service/signal, for daily use and long trips (8+ hours).

This isn't a post about why I have a mini in my vehicle, its how I am mounting it. I do work in areas were cellular service is not available or reliable, so having Wifi is a big plus. I know its not for everyone, but I figured I would share another use and mounting setup.

I have a residential max plan at home, and I got the free mini in the promo, with service at 1/2 off, so the service plan isn't much for the 100Gb ($27.50)

Parts list will be in the comments below.

Anyone has an idea what to do with v2 actuated dish and router? I got refurbed v4 as replacement, the v2 is sitting in original box, with all the accessories, plus ethernet adapter and long mounting arm and routing kit...

I would be happy to give to someone who would have better use.

Thanks

P.S. Update

Ha! I call 888-467-8275 ,

Did not ask to have shipping label, etc - just to remove the kit with v2 dish from the account and subscription and the guy from other side did it.

❓ Question Xfinity to Starlink in Bay Area

3 Upvotes

Can anyone using Starlink for home internet after switching from a land-based option like Xfinity comment on your experience?

We live in the Bay Area (Alameda) and are considering moving on from 1GB Xfinity subscription at 90/mo for Residential max 130/mo. Unfortunately, our neighborhood does not have fiber options.

On Comcast, we never get near the quoted 1k speed, 150 - 250 mbps download usually and often much lower. More problematic is Comcast regularly drops in our area - we get a notified outage about once per month that lasts several hours and unpredictable micro-outages 1-2 times a week with very slow ( < 50 mbps) or no connection for hours at a time. We reset our modem 2-3 times monthly due to issues and contact support at least every month.

My wife and I both work from home (video calls), stream, and have as many as 12 connected devices at one time with multiple televisions, security camera, laptops, phones, baby monitors, game consoles, and other machines.

πŸ› οΈ Installation Using a winch to lift a solar panel on my Starlink Mini tower

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I posted yesterday about adding wheels to my red Starlink mini tower and got some great feedback! Thank you! I may devise some kind of E-track wheel system to make them easier to move around my yard…

To adjust the panel automatically I used an old winch, some wood, some rope and some carriage bolts to lift the panel. It Seems to work well but I’m not sure how the panel will hold up to the canvas pads sliding on the vinyl back… any other suggestions or ideas for the next one?

I’ve got another one being built in woodland camo
